Plant height — Dianthus × allwoodii

Dianthus × allwoodii is a hybrid form that produces dense turf, the height of which is determined by the genetic characteristics of a specific cultivar and growing conditions. In standard variety testing practice for this genus, height is defined as the distance from the substrate to the highest point of the plant, including flower stalks during the flowering period.

This parameter is of practical importance in landscape design and in determining layout schemes in flower beds. Optimal plant development implies the formation of strong, upright stems capable of holding flowers above the foliage, which is an important criterion for assessing ornamental value when planning plantings with a recommended spacing of 10–20 cm.
